You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm thinking about stopping my glutathione tablets, but I'm worried my skin might return to how it looked before I started taking them. Will the effects stick around if I stop, or do I need to continue these tablets forever? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of?
If you stop taking glutathione tablets, the effects on your skin may gradually diminish and return to how it was before taking the tablets. It is not necessary to take the tablets for a lifetime to maintain the effects. As for side effects, some individuals may experience side effects such as stomach upset or allergic reactions. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring.

I've been dealing with male pattern alopecia and recently saw a dermatologist. She recommended I use Qilib spray, Androanegen Tablet, 1 ml of Minoxidil 10 daily, and Finax 1 mg daily. I've read so much about Finax and its potential risks for men, and I'm quite concerned because I know Finasteride has been banned in several countries. Do you think I should see another doctor for a second opinion or stick with these meds? Also, I've been on high-quality lean whey protein for about 45 months since I work out regularly, but no steroids. Can you provide some detailed advice?
Finax, which contains Finasteride, is commonly used for male pattern alopecia but can have potential side effects. However, it is important to note that the decision to continue or discontinue a medication should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider. In the case of male pattern alopecia, the medications suggested by your dermatologist are commonly used to help with hair loss. Qilib spray, Androanagen Tablet, Minoxidil 10%, and Finax 1 mg are all aimed at addressing this issue. If you have reservations about Finax, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your dermatologist. They may be able to suggest other medications or therapies that could be effective for you.

I've had a red fluid-filled cyst on my scalp for 7 years with no pain should I be worried about it and does it need surgery will they have to shave my hair for the procedure I'm really concerned
A red, fluid-filled cyst on the scalp that has been present for 7 years and is painless is likely a benign pilar cyst. While most cysts don't require treatment, it's still best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and to discuss if removal is recommended. Surgery is a common treatment for these cysts, but it doesn't always require shaving the hair
